The River Nile was an important feature in the struggle of the Theban princes, Seqnenre-Taa and Kamose, against the Hyksos. Apopi, the Hyksos ruler in the Delta, complained that the noise made by the hippopotami in the region of Thebes on the other side of the river would not allow him to sleep.
This was an excuse to fight the Egyptians, but it led to the full liberation of the country from the Hyksos by Ahmose the First and to the creation of the Theban Supremacy and the New Kingdom of purely Egyptian rulers .
